Beyond the Horizon at the Irish Repertory Theater Thur March 15 2012 8pm



I saw the Irish Repertory Theater's rendition of Eugene O'Neil's beyond the Horizon on Thursday Night with my dad. It was an eventful evening, of imaginative narrative based theater. I had not had the pleasure of reading the play beforehand, so I was excited by the introduction to the work.

The evening length play staged a family in distress over finances and the managemet of a family business: a farm in the rural midwestern united states. The idea of love as a floating dream between two brothers and one women unraveled, dreams of travel and reading and ideas juxtaposed with the realities of manual labor and income. It's quite interesting. I am glad I went to see the play, and look forward to reading some more of the political works of Eugene O'Neal. Thanks dad, for the suggestion, the company, and the meal.
